The Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis (ELPA) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking two tenure-track faculty colleagues who have established records as exemplary scholars focused on how institutions of higher education can work to ameliorate structural inequality and create organizational and policy change for equity. We especially welcome applications from colleagues whose scholarship and teaching address structural inequalities in postsecondary education, addressing at least one of the following areas: higher education organization and administration (organizations, governance, or leadership); higher education policy (federal, state, or institutional levels; diversity and equity in policy making and implementation); higher education law. We seek candidates with strong expertise and experience using critical approaches toward quantitative, mixed, and/or multi-methods, and/or policy/legal studies. We additionally seek colleagues who are collaborative and collegial, who have a demonstrated record of positive advising and mentoring practices with graduate students, and who exhibit dedication to advancing educational opportunity and equity in higher education. The candidate should have a successful external funding portfolio for research.
